The reader, who thus recognises features as expressive of purpose in a dwelling intended for the habitation of man, we think, can be at no great loss to understand what would be characteristic in out-buildings or offices, farm-houses, lodges, stables, and the like, which are necessary structures on a villa or mansion residence of much size or importance. A proper regard to the expression of use or purpose, without interfering with the beauty of style, will confer at all times another, viz. the beauty of truth, without which no building can be completely satisfactory; as deceptions of this kind (buildings appearing to be what they are not) always go far towards destroying in the mind those pleasurable emotions felt on viewing any correct work of art, however simple in character or design.
